Spoznajte nova pravila o vozniških urah

Ustvarjeno: 15. 08. 2024

Posodobljeno: 10. 10. 2024

Evropska unija je 20. avgusta 2020 uvedla sklop novih pravil za vožnjo, katerih namen je povečati varnost v cestnem prometu, izboljšati delovne pogoje za voznike in spodbujati pošteno konkurenco v prometnem sektorju.

Te spremembe, ki so sestavni del svežnja o mobilnosti I, obravnavajo ključna vprašanja, kot so utrujenost voznikov, izkoriščanje s strani delodajalcev in izenačitev konkurenčnih pogojev na evropskem prometnem trgu. Predpisi uvajajo ukrepe, med drugim zahtevo, da se vozniki vsake štiri tedne "vrnejo domov", prepoved tedenskega počitka v vozilu, novo opredelitev "nekomercialnega prevoza" ter nove določbe o odmorih za počitek na trajektih in v železniškem prometu.

V tem članku so obravnavane posledice teh predpisov, predvsem njihov vpliv na voznike in prevozna podjetja, ter izzivi in priložnosti, ki jih prinašajo.

Vozniki se morajo vsake štiri tedne "vrniti domov".

Določilo, da se morajo vozniki vsake štiri tedne vrniti v domovino, je namenjeno preprečevanju izkoriščanja in prekomernega bivanja zunaj doma, kar je že dolgoletna težava v prevozništvu. Cilj tega pravila je zagotoviti, da imajo vozniki dovolj počitka in priložnosti za preživljanje časa s svojimi družinami, s čimer se ohranja bolj zdravo ravnovesje med poklicnim in zasebnim življenjem.

Posledice za voznike in prevozna podjetja

Voznikom to pravilo obljublja boljšo kakovost življenja, saj zmanjšuje tveganje izgorelosti in zdravstvenih težav, povezanih z dolgotrajnim delom na cesti. Priznava pomen počitka in regeneracije v voznikovi rutini, kar pozitivno prispeva k njegovemu duševnemu in telesnemu zdravju.

Po drugi strani se prevozna podjetja soočajo z izzivom reorganizacije voznih redov in poti, da bi izpolnila to zahtevo. To lahko pomeni znatne logistične prilagoditve, zlasti pri mednarodnih prevozih na dolge razdalje, kar lahko poveča operativne stroške. Podjetja morajo zdaj skrbneje načrtovati in upoštevati, da se morajo vozniki vrniti domov v roku štirih tednov, kar lahko zahteva strateško načrtovanje in morda celo preusmeritev nekaterih voženj, da bi izpolnili te regulativne zahteve.

Praktični izzivi in rešitve

Logistični izzivi za prevozna podjetja vključujejo usklajevanje urnikov voznikov, upravljanje daljših poti in morebitno najemanje dodatnega osebja za opravljanje dela v času odsotnosti voznikov. Ena od rešitev bi lahko bila uvedba naprednejše programske opreme za načrtovanje poti, ki lahko te nove predpise vključi v postopek načrtovanja voznih redov in tako zagotovi skladnost ter hkrati ohrani učinkovitost.

Poleg tega bodo morala podjetja spodbujati bolj odprte komunikacijske kanale s svojimi vozniki, razumeti njihove domače obveznosti in želje ter načrtovati čim bolj priročne in pravočasne povratke domov. Ta pristop ne pomaga le pri zagotavljanju skladnosti, temveč tudi pri ohranjanju voznikov, saj ceni njihove osebne potrebe in se jim prilagaja.

prepoved, da bi vozniki tedenski počitek preživeli v vozilu

Ena od značilnih sprememb, ki jih prinašajo novi predpisi EU o vožnji, je prepoved, da bi vozniki svoj redni tedenski počitek preživeli v kabini svojega vozila. Namen tega pravila o delovnem času voznikov je zagotoviti, da imajo vozniki dostop do ustreznih prostorov za počitek, ki naj bi v idealnem primeru nudili udobno okolje, primerno za pravi počitek in okrevanje.

Vpliv na čas počitka in dobro počutje voznikov

V preteklosti ni bilo redko, da so vozniki počitek preživeli v vozilu, pogosto zaradi pomanjkanja dostopnih ali cenovno ugodnih prostorov. Ta praksa je bila sicer ekonomsko ugodna, vendar je le redko zagotavljala potrebno kakovost počitka. Novo pravilo poudarja potrebo po ustreznem spanju in prostem času ter priznava njun pomen za ohranjanje splošnega zdravja in varnosti voznikov.

Prilagoditve, ki jih zahtevajo vozniki in delodajalci

Izvajanje tega pravila zahteva precejšnjo prilagoditev tako od voznikov kot od njihovih delodajalcev. Prevozna podjetja morajo zdaj zagotoviti, da imajo njihovi vozniki v času počitka dostop do primerne namestitve. To lahko pomeni, da je treba urediti bivanje v hotelu ali izkoristiti zmogljivosti za počitek, ki so posebej namenjene voznikom, kar lahko pomeni dodatne stroške in načrtovanje.

Delodajalci bodo morda morali v svoje logistične dejavnosti vključiti načrtovanje nastanitve in morda sodelovati s hoteli ali počivališči, ki lahko sprejmejo njihove voznike. To sicer predstavlja dodaten operativni strošek, vendar je tudi priložnost za vlaganje v dobro počutje delovne sile, kar na koncu prispeva k večjemu zadovoljstvu pri delu in ohranjanju zaposlitve.

Nova opredelitev pojma "nekomercialni prevoz

Posodobljena pravila EU o vožnji uvajajo jasnejšo opredelitev "nekomercialnega prevoza", ki jasneje razlikuje med osebnim in komercialnim prevozom. Cilj te spremembe je odpraviti nejasnosti v zvezi s prevozom blaga v zasebne in komercialne namene, kar vpliva na zavarovanje vozil, obdavčitev in skladnost s predpisi.

Učinki na zasebne in komercialne voznike

Za zasebne voznike ta nova opredelitev zagotavlja jasnejše razumevanje, kaj je nekomercialna dejavnost, kar lahko zmanjša tveganje nenamernih kršitev predpisov. Pomaga razmejiti meje zasebne uporabe, s čimer zagotavlja, da za posameznike ne bodo neupravičeno veljali predpisi o komercialnem prevozu.

Ta opredelitev je za poklicne voznike in podjetja, za katera delajo, ključnega pomena pri določanju obsega njihovih dejavnosti. Zaradi tega je treba skrbno pregledati njihove prevozne dejavnosti, da bi zagotovili, da so vsa komercialna prizadevanja natančno razvrščena in skladna z najnovejšimi predpisi EU, kar lahko zahteva prilagoditev načina dokumentiranja in poročanja o nekaterih prevoznih dejavnostih.

Nove določbe za odmore za počitek na trajektih in v železniškem prometu

Zaradi posebne narave prevoza s trajekti in železnico nova pravila predvidevajo posebne določbe za odmore za počitek med temi načini potovanja. Vozniki lahko zdaj določena obdobja potovanja štejejo za počitek, če so izpolnjeni posebni pogoji, kar omogoča učinkovitejše načrtovanje in izvedbo potovanja.

Prednosti za voznike

Te določbe so dobrodošla sprememba za voznike, zlasti tiste, ki opravljajo prevoze na dolge razdalje ali mednarodne prevoze. Ta pravila o delovnem času voznikov omogočajo prožnejše razporejanje in lahko skrajšajo skupni čas potovanja, saj voznikom omogočajo, da čas potovanja na trajektih in vlakih štejejo v čas počitka. Ta prožnost lahko vodi k bolj uravnoteženemu delovnemu urniku, zmanjšuje utrujenost in povečuje splošno zadovoljstvo pri delu.

Izzivi pri izvajanju

Praktična uporaba teh novih določb zahteva skrbno dokumentacijo in preverjanje skladnosti, da se zagotovi izpolnjevanje vseh pogojev. Prevozna podjetja se morajo seznaniti s posebnostmi pravil o delovnem času voznikov in jih vključiti v svoje postopke načrtovanja. To lahko vključuje usposabljanje voznikov in upravnega osebja za natančno evidentiranje in preverjanje počitka v skladu z novimi predpisi.

Rešitve, ki jih ponuja SNAP

Aplikacija SNAP je ključna rešitev pri obvladovanju teh sprememb. Aplikacija SNAP, zasnovana za racionalizacijo operativne logistike in izboljšanje kakovosti življenja voznikov na cesti, ponuja celovito platformo, ki obravnava več vidikov novih predpisov.

Omogočanje skladnosti z zahtevami za vrnitev domov.

SNAP lahko pomaga prevoznim podjetjem in voznikom zagotovi, da se lahko vsake štiri tedne vrnejo domov, kot je predpisano.

Tedenski počitek zunaj vozila.

Kot odgovor na prepoved preživljanja počitka v vozilu SNAP zagotavlja imenik namestitev, prilagojenih potrebam voznikov. Ta funkcija lahko prevoznim podjetjem pomaga pri iskanju in rezervaciji primernih prostorov za počitek ter voznikom zagotovi dostop do udobnih in skladnih nastanitev med tedenskim počitkom.

Racionalizacija dokumentacije.

Nova opredelitev "nekomercialnega prevoza" zahteva natančno dokumentacijo za razlikovanje med osebnim in komercialnim prevozom. Zmogljivosti digitalne dokumentacije SNAP omogočajo enostavno upravljanje in dostop do prevoznih dokumentov, kar pripomore k skladnosti in zmanjšuje upravno breme, povezano z novimi zahtevami glede klasifikacije.

Optimizacija odmorov za počitek na trajektih in v železniškem prometu.

Z uvedbo posebnih določb za odmore za počitek na trajektih in železnici SNAP pomaga načrtovati potovanja, ki vključujejo ta prevozna sredstva, in zagotavlja, da lahko vozniki kar najbolje izkoristijo čas počitka, kot ga določajo nova pravila. Aplikacija lahko pomaga pri postopku dokumentiranja in preverjanja ter tako zagotovi, da so vsi počitki skladni in ustrezno evidentirani.

SNAP je inovativna in praktična rešitev za izzive, ki jih prinašajo novi predpisi EU o delovnem času voznikov. Njegove obsežne funkcije ne podpirajo le skladnosti s posodobljenimi predpisi, temveč spodbujajo tudi operativno učinkovitost in dobro počutje voznikov. Z uporabo sistema SNAP lahko prevozna podjetja obvladujejo zapletenost novega pravnega okolja ter si tako zagotovijo lažji prehod in nadaljnji uspeh v razvijajočem se prevoznem sektorju.

PARKIRNI PREDPISI ZA VOZILA HGV V ZDRUŽENEM KRALJESTVU: KAJ BI MORAL VEDETI VSAK VOZNIK

Susie Jones

For many truck drivers, it can be challenging trying to navigate the number of regulations surrounding overnight truck parking in the UK. After a long day behind the wheel, they must adhere to several rules before they can even think about parking up for the night. We'll delve into these regulations and provide you with everything you need to know. Before we look at parking regulations, it's vital to understand UK and EU laws regarding rest periods. We've collated all you need to know about . However, in a nutshell, if your vehicle exceeds three and a half tonnes, you must have a tachograph fitted. A tachograph will record the number of breaks a driver takes. Truck drivers must adhere to the following:• Drivers must take 11 continuous hours of rest. This can be reduced to nine. • Truck drivers are required to take at least 45 hours of rest. • Driving time can be no longer than four-and-a-half hours before a break. A break must be at least 45 minutes.To comply with parking laws and ensure safety, truck drivers must follow strict regulations regarding where and when they can park overnight:• Many local authorities do not allow truck drivers to park in residential areas doing so may result in a fine or penalty.• If the maximum loaded weight of the vehicle is more than 7.5 tonnes (including any trailer), you must not park on a verge, pavement, or any land between carriageways unless there is police permission. • Truck drivers can use these for overnight parking. However, they provide less security and no amenities. Parking overnight in a lay-by is often the most straightforward and economical option but can pose a greater security risk.Failure to follow HGV parking regulations can result in fines, vehicle clamping, or impounding. These penalties are in place to encourage drivers to comply with the law and ensure road safety.Suitable parking locations include: Specifically designed for HGVs and include facilities such as fuel, food, showers, toilets, and security options. Many motorway service areas (MSAs) will provide areas for HGV parking. Most offer similar facilities as truck stops. SNAP provides drivers with a network of over across Europe. • Downloading a truck parking app can help drivers find locations near them to park up for the night. enables truck drivers to find parking & washing spots across Europe, allowing drivers to book SNAP sites through the app.• Search for a spot that offers essential amenities like food, toilets, and showers for a more comfortable stay. • Most truck stops and MSAs will have security features. Using the or, drivers can check a site's security features, including fencing, CCTV, night watchmen, and TAPA accreditations. Truck drivers can park on verges or pavements if the parking is for essential loading and unloading. There are a few exceptions they must consider before loading and unloading:• Drivers must not park where yellow markings are on the curb, and upright signs advise restrictions. • The vehicle must not be left unattended.• On red routes, drivers should look out for specially marked and signposted bays showing when and where loading and unloading is permitted. • Councils and private estates may have different regulations. Truck drivers are restricted to using lanes one and two. On a four-lane motorway, drivers can use lane three. However, HGVs are not permitted to use the furthest right lane.A road may be marked unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles for the following reasons: These pose a challenge for many HGVs, especially long or articulated trucks. Ascending a steep incline for an HGV is a difficult task due to its heavy load, leading to reduced traction and wheel spin. Roads with limited width can feature sharp bends or walls on either side and are unsuitable for trucks. Due to their turning radius of HGVs, they require more space to maneuver. Roads with walls on either side leave little room for error and increase the risk of an HGV becoming stuck or causing damage.

VSE, KAR MORATE VEDETI O SPREMEMBAH SISTEMA CPC ZA VOZNIKE

Susie Jones

On the 3rd of December 2024, changes to the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) will come into full effect. The new CPC aims to offer better flexibility to drivers returning to the profession and those undertaking mandatory training. We delve into the upcoming changes and how they will impact drivers. Introduced in 2007, the CPC is a mandatory qualification for professional drivers in the UK and EU wanting to drive a range of heavy vehicles, such as HGVs, LGVs, buses, and coaches. Drivers must pass four tests: • Theory• Case study• Practical• Vehicle safety demonstration. Once passed, the CPC lasts for five years and must be renewed by taking 35 hours of periodic training within the five years.The UK government wanted to understand the effectiveness of the Driver CPC. They did this by asking drivers, trainers, and other parties to take a poll. The government focused on two main areas: improving driver choice and attracting more drivers into the industry for example, making it easier for drivers with foreign qualifications to obtain a licence in the UK. The changes to the Driver CPC are categorised into the following:The international Driver CPC is the new name for how the previous Driver CPC worked. The following applies:• Drivers must take 35 hours of CPC training every five years.• The courses must be at least seven hours long. • If splitting a course over a day, a driver must complete it on two consecutive days.• Drivers are allowed to do a total of 12 hours of e-learning.The National Driver CPC provides more flexibility for those wanting to drive in the UK. Drivers can take either:• 35 hours of training every five years.• A combination of 35 hours of National Driver CPC and International Driver CPC training every five years.The flexibility means that:• Training must be at least 3 hours 30 minutes long training providers can offer longer courses. • It does not need to be completed on two consecutive days if it's a split course course providers can set their time limits.• Training can be e-learning.• Drivers can do 12 hours of e-learning towards their overall 35 hours.From the 3rd of December, 2024, drivers will be able to stay qualified by choosing either:1. International Driver CPC National Driver CPCDrivers wanting to return to the profession must take 35 hours of training before returning. However, this will change from the 1st of February, 2025.Drivers with an expired CPC will have new pathways to make returning to driving easier.Drivers have four options:• Undertake 35 hours of International Driver CPC training.• Regain qualification to drive in the UK and EU.• Complete 35 hours of National Driver CPC training.• Regain qualification to drive in the UK only.• Take a seven-hour "return to driving" module.• Regain UK driving qualification instantly.• To drive in the EU, complete 28 additional hours of training within 12 months.• As part of the National Driver CPC training, complete a seven-hour "return to driving" module.• Regain UK driving qualification instantly.• Take 28 additional hours of training (National or International Driver CPC) within 12 months.Drivers must take 35 hours of training (International or National).The rules surrounding Driver CPC cards remain the same drivers must carry their cards when operating vehicles professionally. However, the type of card differs based on qualification:• Identical to the current design.• The design will include "Domestic UK use only."If a driver is qualified for both categories, they may hold two cards.Fleet managers can prepare for the changes by ensuring the following:• Find out whether their drivers need an International or National CPC.• Training deadlines aren't missed to avoid fines.You are exempt from needing a Driver CPC if you're using the vehicle for:• Non-commercial carriage• Carrying materials you use for your job driving must be less than 30% of your rolling monthly work.• Driving for someone you work for or your own agriculture, horticulture, forestry, farming, or fisheries business driving must be less than 30% of your rolling monthly work. • Driving within 62 miles of your base driving a HGV, bus, or coach must not be your main job.• Driving to or from pre-booked appointments to test centres.• Lessons for anyone wanting to get a driving licence or a Driver CPC.• Maintain public order.Full guidance is on the website.Drivers with grandfather rights don't need to hold the actual qualification as part of their licence. However, they must complete 35 hours of training every five years.

JASEN POGLED NAPREJ: POMEN NEGE OČI ZA VOZNIKE TOVORNJAKOV

Susie Jones

takes place from the 23rd to the 29th of September, and as a truck driver, maintaining good vision is crucial to your job. Optical Express reported that road crashes involving drivers with poor vision accounted for roughly yearly casualties.Truck driving is a physically demanding role, but it is just as demanding visually requiring constant vigilance and the ability to quickly identify or react to changing road conditions. Poor vision can affect a driver's ability to judge distances, read signs, and detect other vehicles, reducing safety for the driver and other road users.Drivers must complete a t when applying for an HGV licence this occurs every five years after 45 and every year after the age of 65. As part of the medical, truck drivers must have a vision examination by a doctor, optician, or optometrist.To pass the examination, drivers require visual acuity of at least 0.8 (6/7.5) on the Snellen scale in their best eye and at least 0.1 (6/60) in the other.Group 2 HGV drivers need a horizontal visual field of at least 160 degrees with an extension of at least 70 degrees left and right and 30 degrees up and down. No defects should be present within a radius of the central 30 degrees.After 45 years old, drivers must complete their D4 Medical Assessment every five years and every year after 65. However, opticians recommend that every road user has an eye test at least every two years.If a driver experiences the following, they should get their eyes tested immediately:• Headaches• Eyestrain• Pressure behind the eyes• Double vision• Difficulty seeing during the night• Halos around lights.Under the law, employers must ensure their employees are fit to drive this could cover several things, but eyesight is one of them. Employers should test their driver's eyesight every six months by carrying out a number plate sight check 20 metres away.If an HGV driver requires glasses or contact lenses to reach the minimum vision requirement, they can't have a spectacle power greater than eightdioptres. For contact lenses, there is no restriction on contact lens power.The recommends the following to maintain good eye health:• Eat a well-balanced diet with foods that help your vision.• Exercise regularly to prevent diabetes and other conditions that can lead to vision problems.• Inform an optician if you notice any changes.• Wash your hands before putting them near your eyes or if you're handling contact lenses.• Protect your eyes when performing tasks that could damage them.• Wear sunglasses that block 99% or 100% of UVA and UVB radiation.• Follow the 20-20-20 rule every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.• Try not to smoke smoking is just as harmful to your eyes as it is to your body.The visual standards HGV drivers must meet are higher than those of other road users. In the UK, drivers must have a visual acuity of at least 0.5 (6/12) on the Snellen scale. In addition, drivers must be able to read a car number plate made after the 1st of September 2001 from 20 metres.The UK law on vision and driving falls below many European countries.By a number plate self-test from 20 metres. A visual acuity/visual field test is mandatory in other European countries.A driving test examiner performs the test in the UK, Cyprus, The Netherlands, and Norway. Several European countries require an Optometrist/Ophthalmologist/Doctor to carry out the test.• The UK, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, and Sweden require no further visual tests.• Algeria, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Spain, and Turkey require a visual assessment every ten years.• Algeria, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, and Turkey require visual tests from 65 or younger.It's vital to inform the DVLA if you have any of the following eye conditions:• Blepharospasm• Cataracts• Diabetic retinopathy• Glaucoma• Eye loss• Macular degeneration• Monocular vision• Nyctalopia• Retinitis pigmentosa• Visual field defect.Drivers need to meet the following standards:• Can read a number plate 20 metres away• No double vision• Have a regular field of vision in at least one eye.If a driver is unsure whether they meet the visual standards for driving, they must get advice from a GP, optician, or eye specialist. of the information a driver receives comes from vision with most maneuvers made based on a sense of sight. Vision cannot be substituted or supplemented and is the most important physical factor behind the wheel.
